Soul Talks With Bill & Kristi Gaultiere

We continue the Lent journey of “Unforsaken.” Under the weight of the cross Jesus falls — into his Abba’s arms of love! With his mother Mary we feel his burden. Then we realize Jesus falls for us! With perfect, saving empathy he’s taking on our burden. Stations 3 and 4 in "Unforsaken: With Jesus on the Stations of the Cross"

We begin a special Lent series in which we journey with Jesus as he carries his cross out of love for us. Through his cross our Lord and Savior invites us into the Kingdom of God. In Christ there is no condemnation for us! With Jesus we can draw on the joy of the Lord even in suffering.

Maybe you struggle with being emotionally sensitive — certainly there are people you care for who do. It’s very difficult to be a Feeler surrounded by thinkers and doers! Bill offers empathy for Kristi’s tender heart and draws out her emotional intelligence to benefit us all.

The source of joy and power in your life is enthusiastic devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. Kristi asks Bill to share his intimate, affectionate love letter to Jesus. It’ll warm your heart for God. Based on the Soul Shepherding article: “A Love Letter to Jesus”

We may equate love with desire or romance, but authentic love is to will good for other people. It’s 1 Corinthians 13 love. But trying hard to be patient and kind won’t work. We need to get caught up in the eternal dance of love between Father, Son and Spirit and invite others to join us. Based on the Soul Shepherding article: “Without Love I Am Nothing.”

Join us as we drink in from the happy river of Psalm 46! We can bring our stress, family conflict, loneliness, or busyness into the loving presence of God and find refuge. The word (message) of God’s grace to us through Christ is ministered through Scripture and soul talk.

Often we try to fix our feelings with good advice or cheery reassurance. (This is the same thing we do to other people.) It’s one of the “Biblical Blunders That Bruise and Confuse.” Real life is a lot more messy than the old dictum to get on the “Fact-Faith-Feeling Train.” The truth and grace of the Bible brings comfort and help to troubled emotions.

When we look to the spiritual presence of Christ welcoming us into his Father’s world we find reason for joy — even in emotional distress and intrusive frustrations. Bill and Kristi share how “The Apprentice Prayer” helps them and they discuss the Scriptures it’s based on.

At the opening of this podcast you can join in with Bill as he offers his daily prayer to apprentice himself to Jesus in the Kingdom of God. Then he and Kristi unpack the prayer's insights, peace and power in a soul talk. This two-minute prayer has propelled spiritual renewal for many servants of the Lord. You’ll be inspired to pray it over and over and watch what God will do in your life and ministry!

Here’s a simple and powerful way to pray a Scripture phrase, using your breathing to engage your mind and heart with God’s loving presence. Bill and Kristi share specific Breath Prayers From the Bible and guide you in how to use them to refresh and renew in God’s Word and to intercede for other people.
